RESOLUTION: Immigration Bill Compromise

A RESOLUTION ADOPTED BY THE GWINNETT COUNTY REPUBLICAN PARTY JUNE 14, 2007 BY UNANIMOUS VOTE

Whereas on June 7th the members of the U.S. Senate listened to the American People and rejected cloture on the Kennedy Compromise Immigration Bill (SB 1348) and effectively killed this disastrous bill.

Whereas President Bush and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid have vowed to resurrect this Compromise Amnesty Bill and news outlets are reporting that another Grand Compromise may have been reached on SB 1348.

Whereas recent polling data confirms that the 69% of the voters prefer an approach that focuses exclusively on securing the border and reducing illegal immigration.

Whereas the enforcement only approach is preferred by 84% of Republicans 55% of Democrats and 69% of the Independent voters. (Rasmussen Reports, June 13, 2007).

Whereas any bill that does not require those presently residing unlawfully
in our country to return home and take their place in line behind those that are following our immigration law is AMNESTY.

We, the members of the Gwinnett County Republican Party, resolve to urge our two great U.S. Senators to once again say no to Sen. Ted Kennedy and the pro amnesty lobby and to vote no on this Amnesty Bill.

We resolve to urge Sen. Chambliss and Sen. Isakson to fight to prevent this bill from even coming to the floor for a vote.
